SMART Goal Ending Point Evidence

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving)

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

This was a solo project so I didn’t collaborate or communicate with anyone further than sharing materials and being mindful of others.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I used a keyboard as well as a smaller one-octave keyboard that plugs into the computer so I could play things directly into Garage Band and mess with still there before playing it on an actual piano at home.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

This project really taught me the importance of time management and multitasking because it was difficult to balance this with the rhythm, melody, harmony, and base projects.
